WightFibre would like to advise you that, as part of the project to deliver full-fibre, ultrafast, future-proof broadband across the Isle of Wight, works comprising excavation and reinstatement of foot and/or carriageway to upgrade the network will take place as follows: 

MAIN Rd from WHITE LION to Post Office* From 08:00 hrs until 18:00 hrs - daylight hours only 

• Monday 1st March for approx. 5 weeks 

• No Road Closure but Traffic Management System (Traffic Lights) in place 24/7 

Access to residents, businesses & deliveries maintained* * contractors will work to ensure essential access at all times - there may be very slight delays on occasion, but these will be kept to a minimum These works will be carried out in strict accordance with the New Roads & Street Works Act 1991 and pedestrian access to all properties is a priority; in order to facilitate this there may be a requirement to put in place a number of fully signed pedestrian diversions. 

WightFibre would like to assure you that we will work with our civil engineering contractors and the local authorities to keep disruption to the minimum and although the works are scheduled for the above dates we will endeavour to complete them as quickly as possible. 

Household waste and recycling collection If these are your waste collection days, they will remain the same. However, the collection will take place before daily works begin. Therefore, please ensure your waste or recycling is at the kerbside before 7am on your normal collection day, the council cannot return for waste set out late. You may set your waste or recycling out from 7pm the night before your collection. Assisted collections will be collected from the agreed set out point. 

We are investing £50 million building a new full-fibre, ultrafast, future-proof, broadband network across the Isle of Wight and are grateful for your understanding as we work to bring the project to fruition.
